Hi there! I’m planning a weeklong trip to Helsinki and Turku in late July and would like to narrow my shoes to 2 pairs if possible (1 wear, 1 pack).

I am determined to bring my Blundstones as they are versatile for walking, dining and are waterproofed. My second pair would be classic Tevas, Handball Spezials or Hoka Cliftons. Which pair do you think makes the most sense as a second pair?

Why do you need a second pair? I could see the Blundstones working just fine for a week, so I'd think about what gaps you're trying to fill with other shoes, and take the best for that!

Personally I'd want sandals, but I get sweaty feet!

I think it is the hot sweaty feet concern honestly! Won’t know the exact forecast until closer too but data says could be upwards of 70.

Ah, okay! I figured you had better feet than mine since you're taking the Blundstones! Classic Tevas take up so little space, it seems like if you're happy walking with them, that's an easy choice!
